I have a few questions, first, how old is this post?? Second who is complaining? and why? The reason I ask this is because I play an Assassin, Cleric, and Necromancer, so far the assassin is my favorite, The necromancer seems to get alot less experience per kill BTW... Not sure if thats true its just what it seems like... Anyway, the cleric is pretty nice tho the damage is low on the spells he seems to be able to solo quite well.... The assassin solo's easy in comparison because he kills more quicker... and the necro kills things the fastest but seems to get less experience.... Thats just solo, and grouping.... Now, I understand that raiding is different on many levels because my game play in eq1 changed completely from group to raid as a cleric...

In my opinion, assasins shouldn't be able to out damage a wizard, because thats what a wizard is for... Damage... I don't understand why any assassin should ever beleive that he should be able to... it seems wrong as far as play balancing.... I mean, assassins wear armour, ALOT of armour when compaired to mages.... Assassins use weapons.... Mages/wizards and what ever are straight DPS to be far and away from all physical combat, and most harm.... Clerics are healers, Warriors tank, and every variation between has quirks... The point of all this is.... Each class is different, and if I were to choose a class to be bitter about it would be the spellflingers...

I do agree that assassins should have a very high damage output, probably #1 in the game, BUT I honestly beleive this should be based on position... So yes I think they should have to work very hard for it.... The concept of an assassin to me is one that can do vast amounts of damage in the first few seconds of a fight, if the fight takes a long time... your done..... Your class, and your role, is, to sneak in and deal obscene damage and get out.... For the solo and group play, I would say they do this very well...

So with all that I ask...

How old is this?

Who is complaining?

Why?

and

Do you think that in a raid, you should be #1 or like every other class, you have a place, a purpose and a function??

I mean Seriously, do you think that out of the 24 classes, assassins should be #1 ?? They wear more armour then wizards, so, why do wizards get less DPS? If you compromise in armour, you should get DPS or HPS, or special abilites, and Assassins compromise a bit in the armour to get NICE dps, even if they have to work for it...

But again, I haven't raided yet... Of course when I do raid I will be looking forward to being ONE OF THE MASSES, because being a raid cleric for 5 years, I personally love the IDEA of not being on the hotplate SMILEY

Cheers!
